On my first soil grow I rushed back to the shop after mixing up my first load of nutrient solution and said something about needing pH up as the nutes made the pH too low.
Anyway the guys at the shop just laughed and said I must be a hydro grower, explained a bit about buffering capacity in soil and sent me on my merry way without letting me buy anything. Seems like a good bunch of guys.....they sold me the soil, the pots and the nutes and then wouldn't sell me something that would likely do more harm than good and took the time to explain why.
